In the past, I have worked as a researcher in the linguistic research project LinkType (corpus-based typology of clause linkage), where I have developed the architectural prototype of a highly extensible annotation tool for multi-layer linguistic corpora.

As a consultant, I also develop software for research projects such as TraCES (late-antiquity to medieval Ethiopic) and GiesKaNe (basic syntactic structures of New High German).

My primary research interest is the technical sustainability of research software, its measurement and documentation. Further academic interest includes research data management, especially the long-term availability and reusability of linguistic research data.

I am a member of the association of Research Software Engineers in Germany, deRSE and part of the WSSSPE community.

I live in Berlin, Germany, with my wife and three children.
